Life Lessons in my Dreams

I had a dream last night that seemed vey random, but after some thought. I realized that the dream applied to my life perfectly. It's amazing how much insight my dreams can give to my life.

The Dream: I was at a table and people were eating the most delicious oatmeal in the world. There was a bowl for me but i wasn't allowed to eat it unless I got up to find a golden spoon. As good as the oatmeal looked and smelled, I was too lazy to go find the spoon so I just sat at the table and watched other people eat.

Translation: I need to get off my ass and do the work to find the life, career, and relationships I want. Instead of just looking at/for it and hoping things will fall into place I have to take action whether I feel like it or not.

Moral of the story: Dreams are not as random as they seem. They are a way our subconscious mind communicates with our conscious mind. They call attention to areas in our lives that need closer scrutiny and provide insight that we are too busy to get during our waking lives.

“You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you’ll never be this way ever again.”

A Tip For My Fine Men Out There…

Do not look in my direction, initiate contact,

play the glance up and glance away game,

OR/AND

Do the all of the above and then smile and 

NOT SAY ANYTHING!!

It happens too damn often

And don’t tell me that I need to speak first because HE WILL ALWAYS START it. 

I rather have you speak to me than some dusty dude. 

It’s always the ones that never get any bitches that are bold.

He Got What He Wanted - Random Thoughts on Dorner

They burned that man alive. That fire was no accident, and there was never any intention of capturing him alive. Dorner was clearly a man who fell off the deep end and had NO RIGHT to bring innocent civilians into his beef with the 'system'; however, the 'system' is what created the threat he became. This doesn't absolve Dorner from his crimes or justify his behavior, but I think we have to realize that the much of the blame lies with the corrupt LAPD and the "justice system".

Police Chief Beck says they are reopening the investigation into Dorner's firing to restore the faith of the black community. I got a good laugh out of that one. Any investigations into the LAPD's actions in Dorner's firing and his murder should not be conducted internally. They will cover their own asses. 

We also cannot forget about the innocent women the police shot, and man they shot at because they thought they 'could be' Dorner.  

At the end of the day, Dorner got what he wanted. In the eyes of some, his name has been cleared and with his actions he has managed to bring national attention and scrutiny to a corrupt agency.

We all get that you are single and unhappy, but talk about something else for a change. Maybe you would be a happier if you weren't dwelling on the supposed curse of being single and maybe if you spent less time talking about how miserable and alone you are you might actually meet someone. Had to be said.

R. I. P.

Every time I hear of someone's death, my first feeling is relief. I am always relieved that the person who died wasn't as close to me as he was. I just found out a friend of mine, committed suicide, and while I feel for her family and feel terrible that she is gone, all I can think of how grateful I am that it wasn't someone much closer to me. I know that pain, I have felt it, and I am just relieved that I won't have to go through that mess again. 

It is still shocking that such a bubbly person, with such and infectious laugh, and so much energy was hurting so badly and felt so alone that she ended her own life. And while I am selfishly grateful that we didn't stay close after the play ended, I also feel guilty that I didn't make the effort to stay close and keep in touch because maybe, just maybe, I could have made some kind of difference. 

My prayers go out to her family, and may she rest in peace.
